Alicia's husband was overseas working for a week and she needed friends to come keep her company. I told her we'd come out and spend the night. It was just as easy/difficult to pack to go out for the night than it was to spend just a couple hours. I convinced Helen and the boys to come slumber party with us since they only live a few miles away.
Helen brought over Happy Meals and the kids ate and played and tattled minimally. It was perfect until it wasn't perfect anymore. The kids all set up blankets/blow up beds/pillows to sleep in the basement together. Alicia turned on one tv show and then another and then another until it went from 7:30pm to 10:00pm in a blink of an eye and the kids were tired but weren't smart enough to shut their eyes with the tv on. Finally, we forced them to lay down and they sort of got comfortable then around midnight Alicia's girls went crazy and woke everyone up again. Thankfully around 10pm I asked Miss M if she wanted to sleep in a bed with me and she gladly accepted.
It was a learning experience. We won't let things get out of control next time and we'll separate them to their own rooms before midnight.
Gabe insisted Miss M sleep on his blow up mattress with him. He loves her so much.
